It's getting to be like sunglasses, where you get your choice of branding and labels but it all costs too much and comes from the same place. These days I just stick to the cheap y…

Sure. But as they say, the problem isn’t what you don’t know; it’s what you know that just ain’t so.

TDD means something different than "having tests".

Yeah yeah. Everything is exactly the same, nothing could ever be better or worse than anything else in some particular regard.

Yes, it was already going to happen, but today was an apt day to announce, that's all.

Why are they calling him “inventor”? Jeez.

I’m glad it’s not another post griping about JavaScript frameworks or whatever.

I like her but would agree with the “waiting room vibe” comment. Easy listening sounds like the right classification to me.

Everything is good, except the bad things.

Mmm, rather I think we should strap in for lots more of the same. This is the world we built. FB is worth half a trillion dollars. That’s a lot of investor commitment to keeping th…

They’d gripe about this even if they took 99% of the income.

Ok, but at some point you have to decide what you’re actually going to do .

I agree it’s impressive. I’ve been using them as little as possible after a string of delivery mishaps and generally poor service. It’s kind of awful to use these days, in my opini…

The stuff about “lying” should be disregarded. Using rebase or merge is not a moral issue. Well, it would be bad to rebase master or some other public branch, so don’t do that. Not…

GP said it is not easily reproduced, that’s different from unique

There have been a lot of those. The problem is network effects. (Sellers go where buyers are, buyers go where sellers are)

I guess I see what you’re saying. But it’s not clear to me why I should care if companies do this or not. That’s between them and their investors.

Probably so! To me, anyone working those kind of hours for any institution other than an enterprise they own is almost surely being exploited. It would help things along if the per…
